debcha #45 Huh - this seems like one of the few places where you can legitimately use 'African-American' since they are all actually American citizens. And your quibble doesn't seem to be with the 'African' part. Or am I missing something?

People from the Caribbean aren't African. Recent immigrants from Africa, while they may be citizens, aren't African-Americans as the term is widely understood.

I met a woman from Bermuda, who told me that she didn't like filling in the African-American bubble for race, because she's black, not Af-Am.

I saw George Takei speak at Dragon*Con this year. He gave a great, humorous talk, and I felt motivated to get his autograph - which I've never done before for anyone. (And I'm not even a big TOS fan!) He was very nice, and he shook my hand, and he thanked me for my support when I congratulated him.

He's such an awesome guy. I wish him & Brad all the best.
